Backyard Action

Every little bit helps win the war!

You may not think taking action in your own backyard is significant, but it is key to our success! Weeds don’t care about boundaries. They use each site where they can grow and seed as their next step in world domination!  Pulling out those ‘moth plant seedlings growing up the fence’, or ‘chopping and treating that wild ginger behind the shed’ is actually helping to protect places like Mt Manaia and Bream Head.  If we all work collectively to make weeds unwelcome in every backyard, then we can have a huge impact right across the peninsula. Backyard action is easy, we have all the advice you will need to get started, and even the herbicide and tools to do it.

Get in touch with our Project Coordinator, Kelly Maxwell, today.
